Relief organizations are warning millions of North Koreans could face famine and starvation this winter if the international community decides to cut off food aid. Michael Huggins of the United Nations World Food Program said the agency urgently needs more funding.

• Michael Huggins: “We are at a very critical junction right now. The World Food Programme is trying to feed two million people in the country. We have only reached a million. We only have ten percent of the funds we need. Winter is approaching. It is going to be a tough winter by all that accounts. It is the time of the year when fruit and vegetables is not available to the poorest people.”
